The Telnet Server service must be installed and configured before a client running Telnet Client can connect to it. There are several settings available on Telnet Server that, if changed from their default values, must also be set on the Telnet client for a connection to be successful. The procedures in this guide document how to install and configure Telnet Server, and how to configure Telnet Client so that it can successfully connect to and interact with the Telnet server.
